Stages of Endometriosis

Topic Overview

Staging is a way of describing how mild or severe a condition is. The
stage of the
endometriosis is determined by looking at the
uterus,
fallopian tubes, and
ovaries and inside the abdomen and lower pelvic area.
Usually, this is done with a viewing instrument inserted through a small
incision in the belly (laparoscopy). But endometriosis is
sometimes first found during surgery for an unrelated condition.
